    Question is this mutlithreaded?

    Well I wrote single threaded server and then I followed a tutorial on how to make something multithreaded but to me it seems like I am just calling stuff through a lot of different methods and has not done anything to help.

    heres my code:
    package server;
     
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    import server.writeFiles.Writer;
     
    public class Server implements Runnable {
     
    	static int port = 5555;
    	static ServerSocket server;
    	static Socket client;
    	static DataInputStream in;
    	public static String message1;
    	public static String message2;
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    		Server s = new Server();
    		s.run();
    	}
     
    	@Override
    	public void run() {
    		try {
    			while (true) {
    				try {
    					startServer();
    				} catch (IOException e) {
    					// TODO Auto-generated catch block
    					e.printStackTrace();
    				}
    				Thread.sleep(1000L);
    			}
    		} catch (InterruptedException iex) {
    		}
    	}
     
    	public void startServer() throws IOException {
    		server = new ServerSocket(port);
    		System.out.println("Starting server on port " + port);
    		while (true) {
    			client = server.accept();
    			System.out.println("Connection");
    			in = new DataInputStream(client.getInputStream());
    			message1 = in.readUTF();
    			System.out.println("Recived:" + message1);
    			message2 = in.readUTF();
    			System.out.println("Recived:" + message2);
    			Writer.writeFile();
    		}
    	}
     
    }

    So my question is. Is this mutlithreaded? Can it handle multiple connections at once?

    Default Re: is this mutlithreaded?

    No this is not multithreaded. You must create a new thread with a Runnable implementation, and start that thread. For example, after server.accept(), pass the obtained socket to a new class the implements Runnable which deals with the IO of that Socket, use that Runnable to create a new thread. This allows the server to return to the accept method and wait for another connection.
